Technical Flat glass installation

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Dogger, Aug 21, 2024.

  1. I am looking for a glass person to install glass in a 37 Chevy coupe…..
    It is all new flat glass and new steel rubber gaskets.
    New door glass tracks.
    I am in the Waco area but will travel to DFW or Austin area if I can make an appointment to get it done in a day…..can leave car if absolutely necessary.
    Can text me with info.
    Thank you!-Dogger

    I know you said you want it professionally installed. However (on my 40), I found you can do it yourself if you take your time and have patience. Just for the heck of it check on-line for DIY videos.
    Keep in mind glass date codes and tint as well as laminated safety glass.

  3. Ok I will look into that.
    Glass is a new kit from Bob’s so will be good.
    Thanks for the suggestion!

    If you do decide to do it yourself, do not lube the rubber gasket with WD 40 when you install the glass in it. Only use window cleaner per the guy who cut the glass for my '39 p/u.

  5. This kid does glass in Fort Worth area lance Morris 817-845-5721. Seen his work it’s good.
     
  6. I just did my '40 Plymouth a couple months ago. Nice to have a helper when doing the job. Lube with soapy water, pretty easy work.
